This is fantastic work to see! For future work around this stuff, can I ask that you keep us in the loop? When you build a feature like this, users get more things - and search gets more queries, some that succeed and some but fail. But for this email at the tail-end of the test we wouldn't know this was happening, and it has the potential to mess with some of our core KPIs.
